[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woman here. I don’t think the fact that she SAHM while you built your career is that relevant, nor is the fact that you now make more and contribute more. I think the most relevant question is what did you discuss about each of your expectations when she returned to work? Did you have a discussion about what her hours would be and how stuff at home would be handled? If not, that’s a problem. If so, are things different from what you expected and agreed to?

In terms of your connection with each other, I would suggest that the best approach is just to tell her that you miss her. Don’t specify that it’s sex that you miss. Just that you miss her. And see what she says. [/quote]

OP here.  We did not discuss expectations beforehand and as a result, it feels like we just ended up here.  I didn't choose this and I think if I asked her she would feel the same.  I'm sure that is contributing to the increase in dissatisfaction.

I do miss her and now that I think about it, not just the sex, all of her.  It sounds bad but I have forgotten what her companionship is like because I feel like it's been a long time since I've felt like we are a team.  Just writing this out and thinking about it is enlightening for me.  This is like therapy for me.  Thank you.[/quote]
